The future of Silicon Valley is The Economist's cover story this week. Why are people leaving, and startups going elsewhere?
Click here to subscribe to The Economist on YouTube: https://econ.st/2xvTKdy
For decades Silicon Valley has been where you go if you want to make it big in technology but these days entrepreneurs
are starting to look elsewhere. Our cover this week is peaked Valley. Silicon Valley is home to three of the five most
valuable companies in the world - Apple, Alphabet which is Google's parent, and Facebook. But that's starting to change.
Its relative importance is starting to decline as other hubs become more attractive. More people are now leaving the area than arriving. Venture capital investors are spending a larger
proportion of their investments on companies outside the valley than they used to, and some big names are leaving - moving to other tech hubs such as Portland, Los Angeles, or Austin Texas.
So why is this happening? Well, a big factor is cost. According to
one entrepreneur it costs about four times as much to run a start-up in Silicon Valley than it does in most other American cities. But the Valley's peak may also indicate that innovation is becoming more difficult in general. It's getting harder to compete in the
shadow of the tech giants - they hoover up all the talent and they can afford to pay people more than startups can. The median salary at Facebook is now $240,000 dollars.
Another worry is anti-immigrant sentiment and tighter visa restrictions, which makes it harder for smart people to go where the opportunities are. In America more than half of the leading tech companies were founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants. Silicon Valley isn't going anywhere and if it's relative decline heralded the rise of a thriving web of rival tech hubs that would be good news. Unfortunately the valleys peak looks more like a warning that innovation everywhere is becoming more difficult.

Tech entrepreneurs have been converging on an area better known for surfing waves than surfing the web.

Silicon Valley (TV series)

Silicon Valley is an American television comedy series created by Mike Judge, John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky. The series focuses on six young men who found a startup company in Silicon Valley. The series premiered on April 6, 2014, on HBO. The first season consisted of eight episodes. HBO renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on April 12, 2015. On April 13, 2015, HBO renewed Silicon Valley for a third season, which will premiere on April 24, 2016.

Plot

Season 1

Richard Hendricks (Thomas Middleditch) is a shy, reclusive programmer who works at a large internet company called Hooli. He is also developing a music app called Pied Piper in a live-in startupbusiness incubator run by entrepreneur Erlich Bachman (T. J. Miller). After a rocky post-TEDelevator pitch of Pied Piper to venture capitalist Peter Gregory (Christopher Evan Welch), Hendricks also shows his work to a pair of programmers at Hooli who mock him. Within hours, however, Hooli executive Donald "Jared" Dunn (Zach Woods) and Gregory's assistant Monica (Amanda Crew) discover that the app contains a revolutionary data compression algorithm. Hooli CEO Gavin Belson (Matt Ross) proposes a US$4 million buy-out of Pied Piper, while Peter Gregory offers a $200,000 investment for 5% ownership in the company, an offer that would result in an equivalent valuation for the company. This leads Belson to increase his offer to $10 million. With encouragement from Monica and the support of Bachman, Hendricks chooses Gregory's offer. He hires the residents of the incubator, except for his friend Nelson "Big Head" Bighetti (Josh Brener), to become the Pied Piper team, along with Dunn, who defects from Hooli.

The Economist

The Economist is an English language weekly newspaper owned by the Economist Group and edited in offices based in London. Continuous publication began under founder James Wilson in September 1843. For historical reasons, The Economist refers to itself as a newspaper, but each print edition appears on small glossy paper like a news magazine. In 2006, its average weekly circulation was reported to be 1.5 million, about half of which were sold in the United States.

The publication belongs to The Economist Group. It is 50% owned by private investors and 50% by Exor, the Agnelli holding company, and the Rothschild banking family of England. Exor and the Rothschilds are represented on the Board of Directors. A board of trustees formally appoints the editor, who cannot be removed without its permission. Although The Economist has a global emphasis and scope, about two-thirds of the 75 staff journalists are based in the City of Westminster, London. As of March 2014, the Economist Group declared operating profit of £59m. Previous major shareholders include Pearson PLC.

"The Economist" was watched by 14 million American viewers and received positive reactions from critics.

Plot

Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox) and Miles Straume (Ken Leung) argue about what to do about leader of the Others, Ben Linus (Michael Emerson), and Miles's colleague Charlotte, both sought after by Miles and his colleagues and taken prisoner by Locke. Sayid pays his respects to Naomi Dorrit, and takes her bracelet. He then offers to retrieve Charlotte without bloodshed, in return gaining a helicopter flight to the freighter anchored offshore. He takes along Miles and Kate. Sayid asks Jack not to come with them as he might be unpredictable around Locke.

She has been married twice, first to Ohio neurologist Benjamin L. Walter (whom she married on September 14, 2002 and divorced in 2006) and currently to William, an Australian news executive whom she met in Hong Kong.

She is a mother of twin boys, Dylan and Zachary, who were born July 21, 2004, by her first husband. They live in Millburn, New Jersey.

She is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and speaks some Cantonese.

Career

Liu jump-started her career in financial journalism as a Hong Kong-based regional correspondent and youngest-ever Taiwan Bureau Chief for Dow Jones Newswires.

The future of Silicon Valley is The Economist's cover story this week. Why are people leaving, and startups going elsewhere?

For decades Silicon Valley has been where you go if you want to make it big in technology but these days entrepreneurs
are starting to look elsewhere. Our cover this week is peaked Valley. Silicon Valley is home to three of the five most
valuable companies in the world - Apple, Alphabet which is Google's parent, and Facebook. But that's starting to change.
Its relative importance is starting to decline as other hubs become more attractive. More people are now leaving the area than arriving. Venture capital investors are spending a larger
proportion of their investments on companies outside the valley than they used to, and some big names are leaving - moving to other tech hubs such as Portland, Los Angeles, or Austin Texas.
So why is this happening? Well, a big factor is cost. According to
one entrepreneur it costs about four times as much to run a start-up in Silicon Valley than it does in most other American cities. But the Valley's peak may also indicate that innovation is becoming more difficult in general. It's getting harder to compete in the
shadow of the tech giants - they hoover up all the talent and they can afford to pay people more than startups can. The median salary at Facebook is now $240,000 dollars.
Another worry is anti-immigrant sentiment and tighter visa restrictions, which makes it harder for smart people to go where the opportunities are. In America more than half of the leading tech companies were founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants. Silicon Valley isn't going anywhere and if it's relative decline heralded the rise of a thriving web of rival tech hubs that would be good news. Unfortunately the valleys peak looks more like a warning that innovation everywhere is becoming more difficult.

Southern California boasts some of the finest engineering schools in the world, which makes the L.A. area a talent-rich environment for tech startups. Southern California is now considered the second or third largest tech hub in the world.

Silicon Valley (TV series)

Silicon Valley is an American television comedy series created by Mike Judge, John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky. The series focuses on six young men who found a startup company in Silicon Valley. The series premiered on April 6, 2014, on HBO. The first season consisted of eight episodes. HBO renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on April 12, 2015. On April 13, 2015, HBO renewed Silicon Valley for a third season, which will premiere on April 24, 2016.

Plot

Season 1

Richard Hendricks (Thomas Middleditch) is a shy, reclusive programmer who works at a large internet company called Hooli. He is also developing a music app called Pied Piper in a live-in startupbusiness incubator run by entrepreneur Erlich Bachman (T. J. Miller). After a rocky post-TEDelevator pitch of Pied Piper to venture capitalist Peter Gregory (Christopher Evan Welch), Hendricks also shows his work to a pair of programmers at Hooli who mock him. Within hours, however, Hooli executive Donald "Jared" Dunn (Zach Woods) and Gregory's assistant Monica (Amanda Crew) discover that the app contains a revolutionary data compression algorithm. Hooli CEO Gavin Belson (Matt Ross) proposes a US$4 million buy-out of Pied Piper, while Peter Gregory offers a $200,000 investment for 5% ownership in the company, an offer that would result in an equivalent valuation for the company. This leads Belson to increase his offer to $10 million. With encouragement from Monica and the support of Bachman, Hendricks chooses Gregory's offer. He hires the residents of the incubator, except for his friend Nelson "Big Head" Bighetti (Josh Brener), to become the Pied Piper team, along with Dunn, who defects from Hooli.
